Debating What the Sexual Revolution Actually Did to Women

Showing 5 Sexual Revolution videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Whether the sexual revolution liberated women or left them worse off runs through several sharply different arguments gathered here. Charlie Kirk, debating an evolutionary psychologist, argued that societies drift away from stable monogamy as they grow safer and more prosperous, comparing it to a kind of civilizational decay, while his opponent countered that genetics and attachment style make rigid moral standards unrealistic for a large share of adults. Candace Owens took a related claim directly to twenty self-described feminists, arguing that the sexual revolution has made women measurably less happy despite greater freedom, and fielding pushback on domestic-violence statistics, workplace fulfillment, and whether the 1950s or today's culture objectifies women more. Father Josiah Trenham offered a more theological version of the same argument, tracing the unraveling of marriage as society's cornerstone back through contraception and no-fault divorce to what he called the embrace of sexual anarchy. Jordan Peterson, in a separate discussion, suggested both sides of the political spectrum quietly agree that no one has actually figured out how to live with the sexual revolution's consequences, whatever their stated politics.
